Opfors Redlegs and spin

Le Monde reports Au total, trois missiles Grad ont été tirés en direction de Kerbala, deux sont tombés dans le désert et le troisième dans la ville.

This is the first observed use of a MLRS (BM-21) by the Opfors. The 122mm 40-tube multiple launch rocket system Grad (Hail), has a firing range of up to 20 km, and a high CEP, making it an area denial weapon, rather than a precision munition delivery system.

Stateside the inability to move US and Iraqi (mixed) forces by ground to conduct a recon in force w/o risk of being engaged by pre-positioned fire is being sold as an major air assault.
